Solar Activity 1st Jan 2020

New year...new AR coming onto the disk!
The AR 2753 difficult to see/ image today....
There's a neat (faint) prom near the new AR and a "column" prom in the North east.
Saw for the first time proms in CaK!!!!
Images to follow.

Thanks for sharing Ken, had a look this morning and could see the new AR and proms through my LS100, seeing not the best and still smoke around.

Gus,
Good to hear!
Hopefully this year will bring some wanted activity - if nothing else gives us the opportunity to get some practise before the next maximum.

Despite really strong winds, seeing today here in Nelson, NZ was sensational. The aussie bushfire smoke plume has blown away and it was very blue again. Strong southwest winds mean that most moisture is dumped on the west coast and we get super blue dry wind here, like Foehn in the alps. I expected terrible seeing but it was great (except the telescope was buffeting, although that does help a bit anyway, as the movement stimulates my eye to be able to see low contrast features. I could see both the larger and smaller spots of AR2753 in my solar dobsonian, also the granulation or supergranulation ( not sure which, I'm inexperienced in solar observing), and a couple of other lighter blotchy areas, which I should have sketched, it was so good!

Hamish,
Glad to hear you managed to get some quality solar observations.
Don't think there will be much chance to record AR 2755 down here today.
Heavy smog and pink skies......
